WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[PanBiker]

Good old curried sausages here today. Haven't made it for ages.

Now there's and idea, I have some sausages in the fridge, might be a good plan for after my walk or bike ride today.

[Marilyn]

they give you wind, Panny...

[PanBiker]

Not bothered Maz, Sally is having some kind of spinach based beany feast. We can have a contest.

[Moh]

Halibut on a bed of crushed new potatoes with brown shrimps tonight.

[Stanley]

Don't know what Haloumi is Maz. Many of these 'exotic' cheeses are a disappointment.
I had a winter dinner, Mutton, onion gravy and chipped sweet potatoes. Not very hungry at teatime so I had two small cheese and tomato butties on a soya and linseed bread that I got at the Co-op when they had none of the oven bottoms. Very nice bread!

[Moh]

Lamb chops, roast potatoes and a medley of green veggies.

[Stanley]

Dinner was the last of the Mutton and onion gravy with some baked beans to bulk it up. Tea was two small poached egg butties but I blotted my copy book by eating a small packet of milk chocolate coated digestive biscuits......

[PanBiker]

I am just about to set our last bit of Silsden lamb off in the bottom of the oven. Carla and our Jack had a share in a lamb last year along with part of a pig reared on Carla's friends smallholding. They have bought a full pig for rearing this year. Our Jack is coming round for tea and lamb is one of his favorite meats, will serve it with the trimmings. It's quite a big piece so I can probably see a few shepherds pies for the freezer as well.

[Marilyn]

Had to read that twice.
First read sounded like you had this wedge of Lamb in 't oven since last year, possibly welded to a bit of Pork.

Where did I put my glass of Red...( I need clarity...)

[Stanley]

I had the last of the mutton on two small butties for dinner and two poached eggs on oven bottom for tea. Blotted my copy book again because I had the other two oven bottoms with Apricot Conserve on them for pudding. Streng Verboten of course but every now and then you have to live dangerously!

[PanBiker]

We had yesterdays roast Lamb with mash and the normal trimmings. I boiled enough spuds for my shepherds pie making this afternoon. I'll make one for my tea today and some single portion pies for the freezer.

[Stanley]

Cornish pasty and the last of the baked beans for dinner. I boiled some carrots and parsnips and mashed them and at tea time had a small portion with a meat pie. Not very hungry for once.....

[Marilyn]

Ham and Cheese Croissants.
Hubby said he would do the washing up on his own. Very big of him...2 plates!

[Moh]

Chicken stir fry tonight.

[Stanley]

Steak pudding, carrots and parsnips for dinner. Two small haslet butties for tea....

[Marilyn]

Trying to get enthusiastic about some thin Beef Sausages I bought yesterday and must cook this evening.
I guess it could be Mash, onion Gravy and Veg.
Still sounds boring, doesn't it?

[Wendyf]

No, it sounds delicious! Nothing tastier than sausages in onion gravy....

[LizG]

Still sounds boring, doesn't it?

In the competition for boring I think I might win tonight. It's chicken foccacia here. I might melt some cheese on Den's to jazz it up a bit!!

[Marilyn]

I like Focaccia and Chicken ( with lots of oven roasted Red Capsicums etc)

Had to laugh at the four hand made sausages I bought at the market...one was 4 inches long, two were six inches long, and one was a whopper at about nine inches long but was thin in the middle yet bulbous at both ends! Think a Butcher's kiddie made them.
I made a Potato and Butternut Pumpkin Bake instead of Mash.
When I make Onion Gravy, I like to cook the Onion well in butter, then add a bit of water from the kettle to broil the Onion before making the Gravy...releases the volatile gases from the Onion...cuts down on problems with wind. ( makes them more user friendly!)
Febby loved his meal. I thought it ok. ( not a big fan of sausages these days, though I used to love them)

[Moh]

I like the onions in white sauce with sausages.
Roast shoulder of lamb, new potatoes, roast parsnip & carrot, asparagus and minted gravy tonight.

[Stanley]

Moh, you are a bastion of good old-fashioned cooking!
Maz, sausages are good as long as you know what goes in them. We are lucky because you can get good sausage in Barlick....
I had the last of the mashed carrot and parsnip for dinner with two poached eggs. I had a small sweet potato and four carrots that wanted eating so I fried them for tea and had two Basil and sun-dried tomato sausages with them for tea.

[Marilyn]

Chicken Schnitzel, Stir Fried Veg, Jasmine Rice with Sweet and Sour Sauce tonight.
I've done all my prep...crumbed the Chicken, chopped the Veg and made the sauce.
Now I can get out and enjoy this lovely sunshine!

[Wendyf]

Lamb curry done in the slow cooker and served with cauliflower rice followed by stewed rhubarb (from the garden) chilled with Greek yoghurt. I thought the rhubarb would be too tart but it was OK. I used Stevia instead of sugar and that can have an unpleasant taste if you overdo it, but a bit of ginger in the mix did wonders.

[LizG]

I'm making a frittata tonight. I roasted extra veggies last night, the eggs are beaten and I've just sliced and fried a chorizo. Everything is ready for assembling and baking. It will be interesting to see if the roasted beetroot makes it all go pink.

[Marilyn]

I think Frittata is a winner whatever you put in it....though I've never tried Choritzo ( having an aversion to Garlic).
I usually do mine with Red Salmon/Cauliflower/Brocolli ( plus Chives/Parsley and Black Pepper).
Must admit I can't recall having Roasted Beetroot in it, but I think that would be amazing too.
I have also made Frittata with loads of Spinach with the Red Salmon.

Our Schnitzel with Stir Fry Veg was yummy. ( sauce had a lot of Lemon/Chives/Lime and Chilli in it...oolaalah..yum). Went well with the oven roasted Red Capsicum and Red Onion.
